GitHub Actions (.github/workflows/build-loader.yml)
- Runs on every push to master and on workflow_dispatch.
- windows-2022 runner: setup-java 17 (Temurin), ilammy/msvc-dev-cmd
for MSVC x64, clones + bootstraps microsoft/vcpkg into the
workspace, installs UPX via choco, caches Gradle, then runs
`gradlew --no-daemon clean dll upxCompress` with VCPKG_ROOT and
OPENZEN_BUILD_REVISION exported.
- vcpkg's x-gha binary cache is wired in via VCPKG_BINARY_SOURCES +
ACTIONS_CACHE_URL / ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN, so the first run pays
the Qt static-build cost (~30 min - 2 h) and every push after
that pulls cached qtbase artifacts.
- Publishes build/dist/OpenZenLoader.exe as the
OpenZenLoader-<sha> artifact (30 day retention).
Git revision in window title
- build.gradle: gitShortRevision() prefers OPENZEN_BUILD_REVISION
from the environment (set by CI) and falls back to
`git rev-parse --short=7 HEAD` for local builds.
- configureNative passes -DOPENZEN_BUILD_REVISION=<sha> to CMake
and logs the resolved value.
- native/loader/CMakeLists.txt forwards it as a compile definition.
- MainWindow.buildUi sets the window title to
"OpenZen Loader (build abc1234)" when the macro is defined, plain
"OpenZen Loader" otherwise.
UPX compression
- New upxCompress Gradle task: locates upx on PATH, runs
`upx --best --lzma` on build/dist/OpenZenLoader.exe and logs the
before/after size. Skips with a warning (not an error) when upx
is missing so local builds keep working without it. CI's
`gradlew clean dll upxCompress` always shrinks the artifact.
